If all of our marriages looked like this, we'd be in pretty good shape.

In a 30-second video uploaded to Facebook by Chris GQ Perry on Sunday, an elderly man waits at the airport with a bouquet of flowers. When a woman approaches, he hugs her, kisses her, and gives her the blooms. It's a simple scene, but the love between the couple is palpable.

Inside Edition tracked them down and discovered that the man, Bernie, and the woman, Carol, met on eHarmony and married in 2010. Carol was returning from a two-week trip to the East Coast, and it was the first time they had been separated."I was just so excited to see her coming through that door," Bernie said. "I was like, 'Oh boy, I've got my baby back again.'"

At 30 million views and counting, the video has clearly struck a chord with romantics around the world!
